Description

The Westin Tommy the Trout Inline is a hyper-realistic trout lure built from a full 3D scan and finished with genuine high-resolution trout imagery. At 25cm and 195g, it is designed for casting or trolling for pike and trophy musky. - Length / weight: 25cm / 195g - Buoyancy: Slow sinking (starts swimming at approx. 0.6 knots / 1.1km/h) - Rig: Custom Inline Rig System with Jointed Stinger HD - Hooks: Ultra-sharp, strong carbon steel - Leader: Heavy-duty wire, easily swapped - Extras: Additional wire eyelet for switch weight, custom Westin release plug - Free from toxic phthalates, lead-free - Colours: 5 options including Real Rainbow Trout and Firetiger Trout Where to use it: - Trolling for pike and trophy musky in open water - Slow to medium-speed casting on shallow venues - Wind-then-kill retrieves to imitate a wounded, panicking trout - Deeper zones with a switch weight fitted to the chin eyelet A wind-and-kill retrieve works better than a steady wind, as the pause is where this lure really comes alive, looking exactly like a dying trout that a big pike finds hard to resist. Can this lure be trolled as well as cast? Yes, it is specifically designed to be effective both cast and worked, or trolled behind a boat for covering large areas of open water. How deep does it run? As a slow sinking lure it fishes shallow water naturally, and the additional wire eyelet under the chin accepts a switch weight for deeper presentations. What does the release plug do? It is a custom Westin design that disengages on the strike to reduce leverage against the fish, then resets quickly for the next cast. What size predators is this aimed at? It is built primarily for trophy pike and musky, given its large 25cm and 195g profile.
